Is it possible that the premise is incorrect? Is that a debatable subject or am I stupid and wrong for even presuming to ask?

I guess you're interested now. And yes, it is debatable. In fact, that is the subject of the thread.

Personally, I think that legal prostitution with health benefits and regulations is a good thing. Complaining that unregulated prostitution will still exist is like saying alcohol should be illegal because there will still be poisonous bootleg alcohol available even if alcohol were legalized. That's true, but the legal stuff will be safer, for both customer and provider.
